Jesus. The AAA space is gonna implode on itself. We went from "indie is the future" to shutting down devs who make smaller budget games to make way for games that take 7 years to develop and blow through half a billion bucks with almost nothing to show for it.
The irony in that is that U2 MP was heavily influenced by Halo, Bungie even helped out on the technical stuff. Now Bungie is at the forefront of bad MP practices. U2 was my drug dood.
Demon Souls being the only Souls game out of the entire series that has remained exclusive to SONY would definitely sell like crazy on PC. Oh and GT7, always forget GT cause I don't play racing SIMS.
Next up, Last of Us Part 2, then Spiderman 2, and most likely Demon Souls in between. I know the argument is that they take 2 years and "who is gonna wait 2 years?" Blah blah blah, but most of their recent and all of their PS5 games, with the exception being Demon Souls, have made their way to PC. Never thought I'd see the day where I wasn't going crazy over not owning a PS, but now I don't want a PS5 at all.

Astro Bot is a little over 10 years old, they first used him as a packed in tech demo for the PS4. Regardless if their former mascots got trilogies or not, they've let a lot of their franchises die to time, needlessly. Plus whenever games like these have come from them in the past they've always intervened enough that the games turned out worse for it. There are quite a few games that would sway me to get a PS5 that they've never bothered to bring back.
It's kinda odd that they're making this, but continue to ignore Jak, Knack, Sly, Mod Nation, basically all their previous mascots. Judging by all the comments here it seems there's a real demand for more colourful platformers and they just sit on all their old IPs.
LOL "El Chavo Kart" I definitely need that one. Such a weird show to make a kart racing out of.
Not his fault, but if you're gonna express your opinions publicly then you should prepare for people to express their opinions on your opinions. His comment about hand animation rubbed people the wrong way, and we've yet to see how AI will help or ruin games so people have very strong opinions on it. His concern was that he didn't say their next game will redefine gaming, which let's be honest, ND normally pushes a few boundaries when they release a game so it's weird that...
So he did say hand animation is dated and AI is the future, just that their next game won't redefine gaming.
I sure hope they include paid dlc on top of all the mtx currency types. Maybe if we're really lucky the game will shut down a year from now and i can feel extremely blessed to have enjoyed blowing money on cosmetics! I'm tingly just thinking about it!
I'll be trying it out again but they won't see a dime from me lol
More like he got a lot of criticism, and it isn't the first time he's stirred up controversy so they want a do over.
What i read was that it was just a customer service rep, and also anyone with enough common sense knows that all that's required is to give your tag/pass/steam guard. So idk why this keeps circulating around these sites.
The question keeps being asked. How do devs take so long doing practically nothing? Something seriously wrong with the industry.
Yeah and many games before it have done what it did and more. Why are we impressed by features that have been standard in many games before? Sites are gonna keep up these fluff pieces for a while longer while everyone has already moved onto some indie game that costs less, took less time to make and does more with gameplay. So many games have been killed off by negative reviews and negative opinion pieces for being more of less like Hellblade 2, but nah this one's special.
And yet no modern game can compare to the aesthetics of N64/PS1 games. All these games using U5, they'll all look the same by the end of this gen.
But why?
I sure hope not cause we're half way through and half the industry hasn't released a game, or a game worth saying "only possible on new hardware". I can only imagine how much slower things will be soon, and half arsed with the AI tools all these companies wanna adapt to using. I'm not liking the look of things at all.
Seems like the future will finally be truly mobile judging off that render. It's more believable now with handheld PCs and phones capable of console graphics, and I'm all for it. Ninty pretty much rode the wave at its inception with the Switch lol
I hate to be that guy but, who cares?
MS shuts down studios because of lack of resources and then helps these guys by giving em resources. Also MS is what forced them to buy their freedom in the first place? What kind of logic 😂
